You can make a difference for LIFE.
Life is valuable beyond measure.
While our culture says life is disposable, God says, "I have called you by name, you are mine." He created us in his own image with purpose.
Sadly, many lives are lost each year to abortion. In 2020, there were 32,123 abortions in the state of Pennsylvania. The truth is, we lose over 30,000 lives to abortion EACH YEAR in PA. The combined populations of Pottsville, Orwigsburg, Pine Grove, Schuylkill Haven, and Tamaqua barely represent the number of lives taken by abortion in ONE year in PA. Imagine the largest towns in our county - empty - tens of thousands of people who never had a chance to live out their purpose in this world.
But there is hope. Organizations like Jewel Women’s Center exist to defend and protect vulnerable lives by offering hope to young people facing an unplanned pregnancy. Thanks to the generosity of people who are passionate about life, Jewel is able to provide free services such as:
- pregnancy testing
- ultrasound
- STD testing
- pregnancy options consultations
- pregnancy and parenting education
- post-abortion support
- relationship education
Each January we kick off the new year with our Baby Bottle Campaign! Filling a baby bottle with spare change and returning it to Jewel is a simple way you can make a difference! If you prefer to fill a "virtual" baby bottle online, simply use the secure donation form below to give as you are able. Every gift makes a difference!
You can also make a difference by praying for Jewel, getting involved as a volunteer, or joining our email list! This February, Jewel will be offering a free series of educational emails designed to help you be a voice of truth and love in the difficult conversations surrounding abortion. Be sure to include your email on the donation form below and we will add you to this special list!
During our first year as a medical facility in 2021, 16 young women chose life as a result of coming to Jewel. In 2022, that number more than doubled to 36 women who chose life! Will you help us double that number again in 2023? You can make a difference for life! Thank you for your support!
